Equality, or something of the sort. Celebrate diversity and all that. If somehow the posting of this thread causes offense, please note that it is unintentional and I intended to maintain a neutral tone at introduction. My sincerest appologies in advance.
In all honesty, I am not really that interested in getting into a relationship with anyone. Well, not as of now. Time and circumstances would not allow it.

I guess my past experience with how people react to the simplest of things in any regard tends to give me a pause anyway. I greatly dislike conflict, even though I have more than learned how to cope when I find it. But that's enough of that, quite frankly I trust everyone here far more than I could say for the other two sites, even if there have been hiccups here and there. I just didn't like how a topic set to my own orientation gave me the kind of pause it did...
But well, here I am. I'm certainly proud of who I am in a lot of ways, and I most certainly find value in everyone and everything. I know there are a few other straight furs still roaming around as well, but I can say I certainly don't see very many on the forums lately.

I've observed the weirder side of Tumblr and other sites for awhile so I can see that some people are apparently in a backlash against straight people for...some reason :S Some het people even call themselves (IMO unnecessary, but I'm not here to start a debate) labels like demisexual, sapiosexual or more obscure non-orientations just to be different or seem non-straight. Even the flags are kinda funny. Everyone knows the lgbt flag is a colorful rainbow, but the common straight flag I see is all grayscale. Is there a reason every other orientation is pretty colors and the straight one isn't? XP
Again, sorry if I'm just kind of invading and being rude. I'm just musing about some things. IMO I would love it if everyone could never worry or feel marginalized for whoever they choose to love, and are no better or worse than anyone else :p

I'm homo- and transphobic for only wanting to date cis-males anyways so yeah... Poor oppressed me who adheres to the patriachal standard of women wanting to bear children!
But yeah, I'm straight. I like to call myself gay though because all furries are gay. And since I'm into men I am gay! Haha! *coughcough*
I've had people try to convert me into being into girls too, but I guess this is just how things go. We have enough people thinking they can "cure" homo-/bisexuality so I guess I can live with the occasional lesbian being mad at me for not wanting to get into her pants :'D
ANYWAYS what really irks me: LGBT have fancy banners and motivational pictures. I find so many pretty pictures with cute little animals wearing LGBT-colored scarves and there NEVER is one for straight people Q_Q *gross sobbing*

Either way, I agree that straight pride shouldn't have to be a thing. People still need to learn to grow up and accept the fact that people are different and we can't do shit about it. But for real, can we not turn this into a discussion about 'pride' movements and shit? That's not what I came here for and that's why I was nervous about this thread to begin with. Pretty sure Hollow didn't post it for that reason, either.

Rude at best.
Im not one to throw slander and put downs but all i've seen from this thread, for the most part, is childish bickering and passive aggressive remarks that need not ruin the tranquility of the site. The main reason people even show up into the fandom is to embody an alternate persona to carry on a second life that is what anyone person decides to make of it. To escape the harsh reality and idiocy that haunts our actual lives. Instead people will be people and make the decision to bring instigation into our safe haven.
I'm straight, 100% heterosexual. This isnt to say that i dislike homosexuals, bi, trans, or anyone else that fits into any other category. The only difference between them and straight people is their sexual orientation. No reason to discriminate on them for any reason. They are human. Get over your pitiful self if you cannot handle the truth.

Would anybody believe me if I said that I intended this thread to go in a whole different direction from what it headed off in?
You mean during or after the whole fiasco? =P Either way, I believe you without a doubt. XD
Personally I don't really care about orientation and apart from the couple friends who're getting married I couldn't name a single orientation. Why should it matter? If I want to do the deed with someone, sure, I'll want to know, but apart from that?
Letting your orientation be _the_ defining value about yourself is...idk. Can't wrap my head around that.
Well, people will immediately cling to the simplest and largest denomination they can as to differentiate themselves from others or define something about themselves. I agree with the sentiment that someone's orientation should not be of any matter, but there still is a lot of hate about it, so until one can say for sure that shaming/abusing people for something so harmless is as rare as a Neo-Nazi, people are going to make a point of changing it through education and exposure.

I promise that's as much as I going to do in terms of contributing to that *bloop*storm. As a straight furry I did legitimately this and hope that this wasn't going a good place to converse with other furries that shared that sexuality but it wasn't a big deal to me either way. Statistically there's more homosexual and bisexual I believe its like a 4:1 ratio but I would have to double check. Hell to the barely informed, ALL furries are gay a legitimate stereotype that I *bleep* hate because my interest in being a furry, sexual or not, does not automatically make me gay. I don't view this thread as "straight pride" that's stupid. This thread goes a long with the reasons I come to this forum for acceptance and to meet people with similar interest as mine whatever they may be. I hope that this thread will continue to be apart of that instead of going against the flow and making people mad.
There I've said my peace I hope that I'm not crossing any lines with that (particularly I trying not to disrespecting the moderators when they said drop it). I'm just trying to get that ball rolling again. :S

One guy broke off our little thing after we had two dates- through a text no less. More than that, he was all 'if this isn't going anywhere I'm not going to waste my time' but worded it in a way that was more or less 'if you aren't easy, I'm not bothering' or something. I can't remember his exact words.
Keep in mind: I'd told him point blank I'd never been in a relationship before, I'd never been kissed, told him that he'd have to make the first move because I literally had no clue what to do. He never made the move so I just kind of thought we were going at his pace. /o/ oh well.
Post by: EchoesAbove on August 11, 2015, 10:24:54 PM
One of my previous relationships ended with the guy threatening to kill me, I did see him again at a Con but he was mortally afraid of me by that time. Idk why but he was and I amused myself watching his reactions whenever I was in sight.
On topic of creeps: There's a guy near me who's famous for not knowing what a washing machine is and he always announces it when he showers... which is rarely. We are unsure whether he wears jeans or leather pants.
On topic of alcohol: Beer and Wine is 16+, everything else is 18+. I grew up in a wine region so I got to taste it since I was little. So I guess I kinda grew accustomed to it and can't get drunk on wine because my brain already knows how it goes.

I'm invading. I'm bisexual but I'm looking at dating guys from now on. I'm slowly losing the interest to date girls. But gay, straight, bi, whatever, you just keep being you~ And straight furs are a rare breed from what I see. Not necessarily a bad thingI see no problem with this. :)
Post by: Aldebar on August 19, 2015, 04:45:43 PM
Being both straight and female can be a little alienating sometimes when it seems there's a lot of groups and things catering exclusively to males, but I can appreciate the furry community offering safe spaces for LGBT individuals or those who are questioning to explore, discover, and express their identities. Some things just aren't meant for me, and I'm okay with that.

But I'm pretty sure my parents thought I was a lesbian until I brought my boyfriend home.
I'd only ever had female friends and when I used to draw, I would tend to draw sexually attractive women (usually with big boobs, like me) because it was my idea body, but I can see how they might think I was drawing what I found appealing. I would have drew more sexy men but I could never get them right so I just rage quit. XD
But to be fair, I'm pretty androgynous, I mean, for the last 2 summers I've shaved my head, and wore 'mens' clothes. I never wear make up and I don't shave my legs or underarms (I don't like the way it feels). So it's not like completely unreasonable to think I'm gay if you just saw me walking down the street. But if you're ever 'unfortunate' enough to sit at a table near me and my friends, close enough to hear what we're talking about... You'd probably realise I'm not gay soon enough... XD

This is a controversial topic so I'm not condemning nor condoning the philosophy. But what do you guys think of the new "Red Pill" movement that's been going around, that basically dictates a more "traditional" or "stereotypical" method of dating?

All jokes aside, I haven't heard of it so I'd need to research it a little before I can really give my thoughts on it.

The key philosophy in the red pill basically is "Women are naturally submissive and are attracted to dominance in men, not emotional attachment. (IE: Women aren't attracted to "The nice guy")".
I find this particularly interesting because emotional attachment is seen as very important in the LGBT+ for actual relationships. But according to people who follow the Red Pill philosophy, emotional attachment of a male is seen as "weak" to a female and generally emotional men will not have any success in the dating scene in a mainstream audience (so this doesn't include "cliche's" like Goth or furry).
so what do you guys think about that?

The red pill movement is basically a philosophy originating on Reddit about genders and how men and women interact in a dating environment. The movement is controversial because it propagates gender stereotypes but at the same time has been shown to be successful in dating and so forth.

I wanted to come up with a thoughtful way to put my thoughts on this down but, I'm exhausted so I'm just gonna put it bluntly; This is stupid, but makes perfect sense. I've seen this a lot when it comes to the "mainstream" dating scene, where men don't want to do anything that may cause them to look weak in front of women, especially when it comes to emotions.
Honestly this just sounds like an excuse for men who have too much pride, and women who just want dominant, strong men.

Unless they were sampling a massive amount of people from many age groups and nationalities, I wouldn't rely on their findings for any future reference.
It might be less of "women in general like men who are insensitive" and more of "women from a certain age group with a certain background like men who are insensitive".
Today's generation and related media might also play a part in perpetuating the idea that men are supposed to be insensitive.

However, there is a difference between a man showing emotion versus being OVERLY-sensitive.

I also want to mention that I find the whole "nice guy" thing off-putting because most self-proclaimed "nice guys" aren't genuinely "nice" at all and are just acting that way out of desperation for dates and/or physical contact. You should be nice to others because it's part of being a decent person, not because you want something out of them.

Personally I think dating is a waste of time. Most people who go searching for a partner don't get someone who's right for them or just aren't ready. Surprisingly, you can just end up in a relationship without meaning to and it is probably because you and the other person are really compatible. It's not that rare really.

My boyfriend is one such man. While he comes off as withdrawn to most people, he's emotionally available and doesn't have a fanny attack every time someone calls him gay. Honestly, men who act like they'be just been called a paedophile when they've only been called gay or implied to be a woman make me sick. Like, it's not a **censor** insult. If someone calls my boyfriend something like that, he's like "And so what if I am?" and the verbal assaulter will usually shut up then.
But as dumb as macho dick heads are, I know a lot of girls who are into that. And I don't want to generalise but all the girls I know that are into macho men are kinda... stupid. Like, the kind of people who can't spell simple words, and replace every 'you' with 'u' in all their messages... My mum and sister are this kind of people. We call them "chavs" here in England. But again, that's generalising.

I really REALLY, have a lot I want to say on this matter but I can't because I can't talk about this without going straight to R rated in my response (In fact I don't know if I could keep it bellow X rated). so I'm just going to bite my tongue on this one.

I looked back and saw that I did in fact give advice to you once. You changed your species and name, and that is why I did not recongnize you Silex.
How are you doing?
